This is a bridal shower that my mom and I had for my brother's bride-to-be, Kristi. It is always a gamble planning an outdoor event in Washington but luck was on our side. The sun was out and blazing at this Champagne Brunch.

The colors were various shades of orange and blue. We made runners for the round tables out of navy and white striped fabric. The flowers were picked from a family member's dahlia garden which was AMAZING!

My mom prepared a few different variations of quiches for brunch. The meal was topped off with 1/2 pint jars of peach cobbler, lemon cake, and strawberry cake.

The favor table included 3 different candies and bottles of orange soda to take home.

Of course, I couldn't forget the kiddies at this shower so they got their own table that had a runner of white butcher paper to draw the bride on her big day and a centerpiece of doughnut holes and crayons.

I made sure that our bride-to-be had plenty of tissues for the event due to overactive waterworks. (They were very useful!)

We played a few games including He Says/She Says to see just how well the "happy couple" knew each other. We also played Bridal Bingo while the bride was opening her gifts. The lovely game prizes were handmade knit washclothes in an assortment of colors.
